\textbf{Fabio, when did you decide to go watch an eclipse in the Arctic?}\\
I've been feeling this urge to visit the northernmost parts of Earth for a while now.
A PhD in Stockholm gave me the opportunity to explore the Norwegian coastline and Lapland,
but the Arctic was a different story. A sort of forbidden dream.
Then last year I started a postdoc at Yale, in the research group led by \href{http://users.math.yale.edu/users/wettlaufer/John_Wettlaufer/JSW.html}{John Wettlaufer}, who's an expert on sea ice and the Arctic. When I heard there was gonna be a total solar eclipse at Svalbard I knew I had to go.
\textbf{Where is Svalbard, exactly?}\\
Svalbard is an archipelago situated about half way between continental Norway and the North Pole, and it is an outpost for research and arctic exploration. In Longyearbyen, a little city of about 2000 people, and Svalbard capital, there is UNIS, University Center in Svalbard: this is the world’s northernmost institution for higher education and research.
